Hello_there

Like, could you imagine this article ending on a ‘dont touch this dumpster fire of a stock’ line? Conde nast would not allow that.
The article was so glowing at the end it almost swayed me until that realization

There’s a ton of those out there and they don’t offer a lot more than what the steam deck can already do.

These all seem like nitpicks. Maps transit is still the best way to figure out to go between points and it works in multiple countries with the same interface.

Synology is more closed down but they make it very easy to use. Note that nas prices don’t include the hard drives - that could be $250 alone. Recommend finding one from past generation.

How do you get gog games to work? Is it all set up or do you need to do something like look for Linux games or set as non steam game or etc?

Kind of weird everyone was pushing for the limited edition when it’s currently still in stock 4 days after release.
Good on valve for crushing scalpers dreams.

Not selling? Drop the price.
Already dropped the price? Keep on dropping til it sells.

How do you tell shipping date?

You didn’t need the orange accents anyway /cope/. Fyi regular 1tb went thru just fine for me 2 mins ago.

I sabotaged myself and didn’t have phone number prepopulated

The moment that copyright is granted to AI art is the moment that the war against corporations loses. Getty images is just going to generate endless images, copyright them all, and sue any small artist that starts having an independent thought

Special interests at work again.

So we’re going to get repair parts available from Xbox and Nintendo? And ways to flash a firmware onto it? It seems hard to imagine what this will look like in practice. It’s one thing to see fairphone or framework do it and it’s another thing to consider what it looks like for everyone.

Who the duck thinks ad personalization is a good thing. I’m glad YouTube shows me ads for seniors on Medicare. It keeps me disaffected and hating ads.

Phones kind of suck for the ‘at a glance’ function.

• Widgets take up too much room on the home screen, so you have to swipe over to it to see it.
• once you’re there, you’re tempted to dive in to look at emails or tweets or whatever else. There’s a whole smartphone detox market that’s out there, focusing on dumb phones and escaping attention traps.
• Not everyone in the house (e.g., kids) should be looking at a phone regularly.
• I don’t have my phone with me when I’m walking back and forth getting ready. A quick glance is faster than a grab, unlock, swipe, read pattern.

Smart home dashboards also seem like a perfect fit with this. A low power, regular refreshing, touch sensitive controlled? That could hang on a wall with a battery? Sounds great.

See, I don’t want a tablet. Tablet implies fast refresh rates, minimal ghosting, fast processor, etc.
It’s a different purpose than a screen I can stick on a wall and only look at a few times in the morning. That lower quality on the panel and hardware should bring costs on the tech lower.
Hell, I don’t even really need 8 shades of color.
If someone can stick a low power processor on there and make it run on some rechargeable AAAs, even better.

Someone would make a killing of they created an easy to use home dashboard with an eink display. Low power, 8x11, customizable with Android apps. Refreshes once a minute. Has weather and traffic and calendar in the morning, and displays photos in the afternoon.
LCDs are terrible in terms of power consumption. But a big, slow eink would be great.

Where’s the copy and paste key?
You’re a programmer, be efficient!
Why press two buttons when one button do trick?
